A significant positive relationship was obtained between degree of diastolic hypertension and frequency of errors made on a psychological test sensitive to cognitive dysfunction in a sample of essential hypertensives. The significance of the relationship, (a) was obtained in spite of a small sample size and (b) persisted even after the possible confounding variables of age and IQ were statistically eliminated. These findings imply that essential hypertension may result in cognitive impairment as well as damage to other organ systems.
在原发性高血压患者样本中，舒张期高血压程度与一项对认知功能障碍敏感的心理测试中的错误频率之间存在显著正相关。这种关系的显著性，（a）尽管样本量较小仍得以获得，并且（b）即使在年龄和智商等可能的混杂变量经统计学消除后依然存在。这些发现意味着原发性高血压可能导致认知障碍以及对其他器官系统的损害。
